Maybe those types are dinosaurs in today's blue tent, protocol league but IDGAF. Give me a guy who I can count on to knock the living **** out of Chase, Diggs or Josh Allen in the open field.

We have one. It's Cooks. And frankly, Reid can knock the shit out of guys as well.
But you're right - it's a dinosaur mentality. Guys don't do that anymore because even when you do it WELL, it's likely to be a penalty. Thornhill laid a PERFECT hit on Evans to separate him from the ball in the end zone and got flagged for it because his head went forward.
Well of course he did, a 200+ pound man drove his shoulder into his chest.
And when a guy DOESN'T develop past that headhunter mentality, he just becomes Jonathan Abram and is essentially homeless before his rookie deal expires.
It's just not something worth having anymore.
